Portland, Oregon, May 15. — The Knight
Companion, the third steamship of the Portland
and Asiatic Steamship company's line to the
Orient, was to-day turned over to the charterers
at Hong Kong. She will reach Portland about
June 18, and salt for the Orient ten days later.
A large cargo of flour and cotton is awaiting
the Indrapura, another vessel ot the Portland
line, which wilt arrive here Saturday from San
Francisco.
Officials of the company state that trade with
the Orient has greatly improved since China has
manifested a willingness to settle the claims of
the powers.
An early settlement of the Chinese trouble
on the basis of the "open door" with the present
good feeling the Chinese have toward Americans,
for the conciliatory part taken during the past
year, will mean an unprecedented boom for Ameri
can trade in the Orient.

ed with petty jealousies and that these
party bickerings caused the president of
the senate, himself a member of the home
rule party, to resign in diqgust.
One of the causes of the failure of the
members of the home rule party to obtain
their objections and which prevented the
legislature from accepting more, was the
insistence by the home rule members
upon the use of the Hawaiian langauge
in legislative proceedings, notwithstand
ing the organic act which provides that:
"All legislative proceedings shall be
conducted in the English language."
They elected interpreters and required
Interpretation of all bills, resolutions, mo
tions and debates.
The reply admits a lack of harmony
between the legislature and the gover
nuor, but states that the legislature did
not deal with the governor in a broad
spirit.
"In refusing to extend the session of
the legislature the governor acted with
the concurrence of the republican mem
bers of the same.
"This memorial was signed by all the
republican members of the legislature
and by members of the executive com
mittee of the republican party. Among
them are members of the party who dur
ing the campaign and since have differed
from Governor Dole upon matters affect
ing party policy but who now appreciate
that the governor is in harmony with
the party organization as demonstrated
by hsi public appointments.
"The resolution of the members of the
home rule party fails to show any specific
cause of complaint and in our judgment
it is sufficient as a basis of removal."

Washington, May 15.—Admiral Bradford, chief
of the naval bureau of equipment, has given a
synopsis of the board's experiments in wireless
telegraphy.
The board finds wireless telegraph feasible
and recommends its adoption by the navy, and
that the use of carrier pigeons be abandoned. It
advises that technical Instruction in wireless
telegraphy be given at the navy yard, Washing

electrical training being needed.
The board makes no recommendation as to
the adoption of a special system, suggesting that
a board of experts be appointed to consider the
matter.
The success of the bureau of agriculture in its
experiments on land, lead naval officers to be

SOLDIERS GALLED OUT TO QUELL
STREET CAR RIOTS AT ALBANY
(By Associated Press.)
Albany, N. Y., May 15.—The trastlon
strike was productive of no serious dis
order during the night. The company
made no further effort to operate cars
or repair its lines and will probably re
main inactive until the military force
called by the state is in a position to
afford the fullest protection.
A strong effort was made during the
night to bring the contending interests
into conference, but it failed, and at this
time the breach is as wide as ever.
The establishment of militia control
began shortly before midnight, when
three companies of the Tenth battalion
were quietly and quickly dispatched from
the Washington avenue armory. One
company was ordered to the traction
power house, another to the upper town
barn and the third to the northern barn.
When Company D, which was ordered
to the up-town barn, swung into Quail
street, a jeering crowd fell In on its
flunks and rear and followed it down to
the barn. As it halted in front of the
barn a shower of rocks and other mis
siles fell among the men. It was thought
for a time that there would be a clash,
but the police drove the crowd back
and the soldiers made no menacing
move.
The police withdrew as soon as the
national guard picket line was estab
lished around the traction company's
plant, and as the night wore on the
crowd melted away.
The first detachment of the Twenty
third infantry arrived here at 7:43
o'clock this morning, and its opening
Present Remains in San
Francisco With the In
valid While Others
Visit the Uni
versity.
Drs. Rixley and Hirschfelder were in consultation this
morning and another physician will be called in this aft
ernoon. It is very probable that if she recovers Mrs. Mc
Kinley will be unable to leave San Francisco by next Mon
day, when the stay of the presidential party was to hav«
terminated. In that case the president will remain her«
with Mrs. McKinley. y
The president did not go to Berkeley to-day to attend
the commencement day exercises at the University ol
California.
The illness of Mrs. McKinley prevented the president
from participating in the ceremonies, but the members of tbo
cabinet and others of the presidential party crossed th^
bay on the revenue tug Slocum. As the little steamer
crossed the harbor the warships lying at anchor in the
bay saluted and all the bay steamers sounded their siren)
in honor of the party.
The guests were taken to the university grounds and
the exercises of the day were observed, Secretary Hay
acting in the president's stead.
The presidential party was, entertained at luncheon by
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of the University of
California.
Mrs. McKinley is being entertained at the home of
President Irving M. Scott, of the Union Iron Works, the
firm that is building the battleship Ohio, which she wa«
to launch and christen. The elegant mansion is turned
over to the president and his wife, and it had been hoped
that they might be able to hold open house to the many
thousand who wished to call and pay their respects.
The house is one of the finest of San Francisco, and
well adapted to the reception of visitors. It is a pleasant
place, grown over with vines wherever they will add beauty
to the home-like surroundings, and has a fine conservatory.
Mrs. McKinley's passionate love for flowers makes thiq an
especially agreeable feature.
The reception yesterday at the ferry building was tha
most brilliant thing of the kind the city has ever seen.
At least 100,000 people were crowded into the great building,
and a perfect storm of congratulations waa showered upon
the president.
STRIKE AGAINST USING AUTOMATIC SHOYELS
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(By Associated Press.)
Ogdensburg, New York, May 15.—With the
arrival of the first boats with grain from Chicago,
the shoveiers at the Ogdenburg Transit com
pany's elevator have struck against the West
brook- patent shovels operated by compress -.1
air. Such a strike last season was s,uceessful.
The shovels are now installed and five m i n
demand the employment of the old shoveiers an 1
increased pay if automatic shovels are continued.
Non-union men are employed and the work is pro
ceeding without interruption.
Plans are being made for a general strike by
longshoremen when the rush begins, to force recog
nition of the union by the company.
It is not likely that serious interruption of
traffic will ensue as the number of men employed
is not large.
part in this great industrial struggle
came near being a tragedy. Just after
their train had crossed the New York
Central bridge spanning the Hudson it
struck a misplaced switch. The power
ful mogul engine drawing it jumped the
track and went tumbling over on it*
side. None of the cars left the track,
but they were given a jolt that shook
every man in the train.
The entire Second regiment, undefr
command of Colonel Lloyd of Troy, and
including 1,000 men from Troy, Cohoes,
Hoosac Falls, Schenectady and Sara
toga, have been ordered to report in this
city this afternoon. Tills will make the
total military strength about 2,200.
The first active step of the military
forces was taken shortly after 10 o'clock,
when the Third Signal corps, mounted,
and a detachment of mounted police
cleared the streets around the Qua'l
street barn. A ozne of four blocks was
cleared and a new picket line established
at its outer edge. This move, it is un
derstood, is preliminary to the repairing
of the lines jn that vicinity and the
clearing away of obstructions on the
tracks.
W. D. Mahon, international president
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employes of America,
left the city today. Mr. Mahon gave out
a statement, it was said, that Chairman
Dilworth and he had come to Albany
hoping to bring about an adjustment of
the differences between the Union Tra»
tion company and its employes, but that
owing to the existing bitterness then*
was no present prospect of settlement.
